The chances are you don't have to worry too much about that, because they are some detractors in the scientific community that believe the Earth is not a sphere.

But I assure any and all who read this that I'm just trying to find the truth. I have no agenda besides this. If I told anyone the Earth was flat because eclipses make it look the sun and moon are of the same size and they believed me I would think for certain their word is worthless. I say this because I stumbled upon the fact that there are a quickly growing number of people online who are not only supporting this, but furthering the investigation every single day, and I wanted to help them. Like most of the people here, I thought this would take about 5 minutes of my life up. In short, the resultant ongoing inquiry into the matter has been a huge pain in my ass, but I'm a fairly resourceful person, and my efforts to debunk the constituent arguments of the Flat Earth Theory have failed. No saltiness from me. I just get salty when people take NO TIME to engage it properly, favouring instead to resort to belittlement and embittered interactions like a bunch of neanderthals.
Here I have first hand proof from Nina that Neanderthals have no animosity towards humans.

To your question: Flat Earthers don't really worry about the Earth being hollow that I'm aware of, and I've never met a Hollow Earther. Their primary objective rests atop major flaws in the Globe Model. They don't claim - as a whole - to have answers about the actual shape of the Earth at all really. They just think it's not a ball.

To confound matters even more, there is debate in the scientific community that goes beyond the "Flat Earth" vs. "Spherical Earth" conundrum, and it deals with the sun.
